HEADLINE
 4/25

Introduction
Base of development is energy.

Energy demand is impacting

environment.

Ocean energy is yet untapped.

Ocean and 5/25

energy
World’s largest solar collector.

Utilized with various techniques.

Predictable and clean.

2. Tidal Energy
3. Current Energy
4. Temperature Gradient(OTEC)
5. Salinity Gradient

Tidal Energy
The tidal cycle occurs every 12 hours due to the
gravitational force of the moon.

The height of high tide must be at least five

meters (16 .4 feet) greater than low tide.
 9/25

Wave Energy
Generated by the movement of a device either
floating on the surface of the ocean or moored to
the ocean floor.

 The most commercially advanced of the ocean

energy technologies with a number of companies
competing for the lead.

Wave Energy Technology

1.  Float Or Buoy Systems that use the rise
and fall of ocean swells to drive hydraulic pumps.
2.  Oscillating Water Column Devices in
which the in-and-out motion of waves at the shore
enters a column and force air to turn a turbine.
3. Tapered Channel Rely on a shore mounted
structure to channel and concentrate the waves
driving them into an elevated reservoir.

Salinity Gradient
At the mouths of rivers where fresh water mixes
with saltwater, energy associated with the
salinity gradient can be harnessed using a
pressure-retarded reverse osmosis process.
 13/25

Current Energy
Marine current is ocean water moving in one
direction. This ocean current is known as the
Gulf Stream.

Kinetic energy can be captured from the Gulf

Stream with submerged turbines that are very
similar to miniature wind turbines.

Ocean Thermal
Energy
Conversion
Ocean Thermal Energy 15/25

Conversion
Uses ocean temperature differences from the
surface to depths lower than 1,000 meters to
extract energy.

A temperature difference of only 20°C can yield

usable energy.

Utilization in India
2000, NIOT Goa
Low Temperature Thermal Desalination technology by
1 MW OTEC , dropped due to difficulties in
installations.

 2010, Kalpasar Tidal Power Project 

 The Gulf of Khambhat was identified as a promising
site for tidal power generation by UNDP Expert.
 22/25

Utilization in India
Jan 2011, the state of Gujarat
state government approved the construction of a 50 MW
project in the Gulf of Kutch.

2014 Atlantis Energy

proposed to install and develop 50-200 MW Tidal
stream based power plant at Gulf of Chambey.
 23/25

CONCLUSION
Need to improve
installation techniques and
cost.

Proper site requirement.

Impact on environment.
